> pixel screens had extremely low Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) rate for screen dimming, apparently as a cost saving measure

The PWM issues are inexcusable. Cost saving measure on a £999 phone. Ridiculous!

It’s not just a cost saving measure. PWM has some benefits like better accuracy and linearity in the lower brightness ranges.
